For the elegant holiday parties…
1. Pompadour
If you’re looking for a classic look that never goes out of style, the pompadour is the one for you! This hairstyle is perfect for taking your look to the next level. Apply some styling wax, such as the TIGI Bed Head Matte Separation Workable Wax, to damp hair. Then, blow dry your hair and begin brushing upwards as your hair dries. And just like that, you’ve achieved a pompadour! Add some hairspray like the SexyHair Root Pump Plus for extra control during your festive night of fun.
2. Sleek Ponytail
The sleek ponytail is perfect for holiday occasions where you need to jazz up your look! Simply create a side or middle part and pull your hair into a low ponytail. If you’re looking to add extra volume, slick your hair back and twist before securing your ponytail. Use a pomade such as the Solutions by Great Clips Texturizing Pomade to achieve that polished look and ensure it'll last the entire holiday soiree! Curious about our other products?
